FAQ

Whether you can force a partner out depends on your operating agreement, shareholder agreement, and state law. Many agreements include buy-sell provisions that govern this scenario. Where no agreement exists, courts can order judicial dissolution or partition in appropriate circumstances. We analyze your specific governing documents and advise on available options.
Minority shareholder oppression occurs when majority shareholders engage in conduct that unfairly prejudices minority shareholders — such as freezing them out of management, eliminating dividends, or diluting their equity. Texas and Georgia law provide specific remedies for oppressed minority shareholders, including forced buyout at fair value.
